Review of Waiting...

Waiting... (I) (2005)
7/10
A little floor spice makes everything nice, there you go!
18 February 2013
Directed by Rob McKittrick Starring Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long and Anna Faris.

Written by Rob McKittrick 'Young employees at Shenaniganz restaurant collectively stave off boredom and adulthood with their antics' Before watching this picture, I was expecting a soulless comedy that keeps repeating to come out of the film industry lately. But I was stunned with the dialogue and story. What this movie lacks with budget, it makes up for in laughs.

Rob McKittrick did a fantastic job in this film. He couldn't have caught the setting and atmosphere of a restaurant any better. The writing is the film's strongest aspect. The jokes are hilarious and the 'game' played by the co-workers is one of the most original ideas I've seen in film in a long time.

The cast was great but with many flaws. I enjoyed the chefs the most out of the characters. They generate most of the 'game' playing and create the biggest hassle for the waiters. Great to watch. I didn't enjoy Justin Long. I loved his work in 'Dodgeball' because he portrays the character so well. He plays a wimpy and unconfident teenager. But when it comes to a character who has many friends within the workplace, giving sex advice and questioning his life goals...I just can't believe Justin Long as the character. Stick to what you do best, Justin.

This film isn't for everyone. It's dirty, volgar, and inappropriately stupid in many ways but that's where most of the comedy is presented. If you can't get past all the offensive jokes, you will not see the beauty in this film. A great re-watchable movie.
